This will truly be a workshop experience! This workshop will begin with the essential elements needed to paint successful pictures. Here you can learn “hands on” how to put a painting together right away. As we paint, we will learn about composition, value, color, temperature, and drawing. Those wishing to join this class should submit drawings to determine readiness for this class or contact the teacher. NOTE: A maximum of 10 students will be allowed. This course is a two hour course. All painting supplies will be provided by GRACE with the exceptionof the canvas for painting on and an easel.
